Windows 10: Issues with hard drives after restting and updating

Hey guys, so I just bought an RX 580 so I decided to nuke my windows 10 and start a new with a fresh windows 10 install. So, I installed the RX 580 and a 7-port USB 3.0 internal card I got, shut down the computer, unplugged my storage space drives (and color-coded the cords so I wouldn't mix them up when I plugged them back in) booted it back up into troubleshooting mode, reset windows 10, completely reinstalled it, overclocked my 580 and installed drivers, then shut it all back down, plugged the drives back in, and started it all back up once again. The storage space is there, it reads pretty much everything, but it is now SLOW AS HELL.

Drives are having connection latency issues, spanning from 0ms to 9000ms, whole folders won't load entirely, I honestly have no idea what's going on.

I ran some troubleshooting, saw one of my drives was corrupted, restarted to fix it, now the drive is showing up as fine, but I'm still having all of these issues. DISM returned nothing, chkdsk returned nothing, I'm currently running a wd data lifeguard check for the hell of it since the pool is 3 3tb wd drives in a simple pool for storage of my stupidly large steam library.

I honestly have no idea what's going on at this point, I'm thinking I should just reinstall windows 10 again and hope for the best.

Specs in case they're important:

Windows 10 update 1803
RX 580
i7-4790k
16gb ddr3-1866 memory
240gb SanDisk SSD for os
V - storage space - V
2 - Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST3000DM001)
1 - WD blue 3tb 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD30EZRZ

really anything helps at this point

How do I unlock the drive where Windows 10 is installed?

 

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!

 

Overclock your hard drive!!!
